Maharaja Duleep Singh was born on 6 September 1838 to Maharani Jind Kaur. He was the youngest son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. About a year after his birth, the Maharaja ascended. A civil war broke out at the Lahore Darbar. Raja Kharak Singh, Kanwar Naunihal Singh, Maharani Chand Kaur and Raja Sher Singh were all killed in four years. After the assassination of Raja Sher Singh and Dhian Singh Dogra by the Sandhanvalia chiefs, Maharaja Duleep Singh was given the title of Raj Tilak on 15 September 1843, when he was five years old. The manner in which the Sikh state was usurped after two Sikh wars with the British is a long and painful story. Maharaja Duleep Singh was taken to England by the British and the Maharani was imprisoned and deported. Maharani Jind Kaur made several desperate attempts to regain her kingdom and her son, but failed, but the British feared her till her death. Maharaja Duleep Singh went to England and became a Christian at an early age, but as he grew up and gradually came to understand him, his mind began to grow weary of the British nature and country. When he first came to India, to meet his mother, he was touched by his heritage again.When Maharaja Duleep Singh expressed his desire to take his mother with him to England, the British gladly accepted because the British rulers there always considered the Maharani a threat. When the Maharani left for England, Maharaja Duleep Singh soon converted He stopped expressing his confidence and started talking about his kingdom. The British were so enraged by this that they forcibly separated their mother and son.
The Maharani, who had gone blind in the forts of Chinar and Nepal, died within a few days of being away from her son's house. His last wish was to be cremated near the mausoleum of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, but the British government did not allow the Maharaja to visit the Punjab even after months of begging. Shortly after returning to England, he demanded from the British government that, as per the treaty, I have reached the age of majority and my kingdom should be returned to me. After some legal proceedings, the Maharaja, in desperation, left England and went to France, where he sought the help of the British government against the British. The French government did not help him. From there he went to Russia. I asked the king to help me get my kingdom back. But the king of Russia did not consider it appropriate to meet him. He published letters in the newspapers of India asking the people of Punjab and India to help him. This Maharaja of the Sikhs, after dusting the streets of Russia and France for many years, passed away on 22 October 1893 at the Grand Hotel in France in a state of sickness and poverty. His son built his grave with his mother in England. The Queen of the British Government presented a bouquet of flowers to him.
